Virtualization

Optimize your healthcare IT investment

At Apex, we understand that rural healthcare facilities like yours lack the physical space and resources to invest in new technology. Virtualization is the answer, with capabilities that allow healthcare facilities to separate resources and services from the underlying physical delivery of those services. In other words, virtualization allows you to do more with less.

For example, with virtual memory, your software can access more memory than is physically installed in your computer, via the background swapping of your data onto disk storage. Virtualization techniques can be applied to other aspects of your healthcare IT as well, including: networks, storage, laptop or server hardware, operating systems and applications.

Virtualization technologies provide a layer of abstraction between computing, storage and networking hardware, and the applications running on it, so you can enjoy more advanced technology without installing more equipment – giving you more time, space and energy to focus on patient care.

Best of all, implementing a virtual infrastructure in your facility is non-disruptive, since using your computers will be no different than it is now. However, virtual infrastructure gives administrators the advantage of managing pooled resources across your HCO, allowing IT managers to be more responsive to changing healthcare needs and better leverage infrastructure investments.
